if something is too good to be true then it follows that i shouldn't be surprised when it ends.
valve is "replacing" the "old" family sharing system with a "new and improved" system which "helpfully" prevents you from sharing games with anyone outside your country
heavily impacts me who doesn't have family in even the same continent, fuck

time to go back to r/crackwatch and pirate games again
@mavica_again fucking hell... same situation here, all my family lives 8 damn timezones away
@mavica_again Steam family sharing allows for a broad range of creative uses, unfortunately people used it to circumvent anti-cheat and server bans and other very clearly non-intended use cases.
Though instead of coming out and clearly stating that, they pull the ol' asshat of "restrictions as features" PR spin bullcrap unless you really dig into FAQ etc.
Gabe of Valve himself said “piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue”
Well, this is so bothersome, some may revert to piracy.
